Abstract
The demand for sedation has increased as the number of cosmetic procedures performed in ambulatory surgery centers and office-based surgical suites has grown. Sedation offers advantages over general anesthesia in both of these settings. Sedation allows for rapid recovery of patients and discharge within a relatively short period of time compared to a general anesthetic. Recent advances in sedative pharmacology and monitoring have allowed for the administration of safe sedative agents and delivery techniques for aesthetic procedures.
